This report explores the 2019 English Indices of Deprivation for the small areas (Lower-Layer Super Output Areas or LSOAs) within Bucklow-St Martins. It compares these small areas relative to Trafford using the rank and score and highlights the indicators and data sources behind these measures.
The English Indices of Deprivation (IoD) were published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government in September 2019. The Indices measure relative levels of deprivation in 32,844 Lower-layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) in England. Each LSOA contains approximately 1,500 residents or 650 households. They are ranked from 1 (most deprived) to 32,844 (least deprived) and assigned to a decile ranging from 1 (most deprived 10%) to 10 (least deprived 10%). Local authorities in England are also ranked from 1 to 317 based on a population weighted average rank or score of the LSOA data.
Relative deprivation is measured using 39 indicators which are grouped across seven different domains:
Each domain is combined and weighted to create the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), an overall measure of relative deprivation.
A further 2 supplementary indices of income deprivation are also provided:
Ward boundaries and LSOA boundaries do not always perfectly align and so it is impossible to aggregate from LSOA to ward exactly. Instead a ‘best-fit’ methodology is used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to assign LSOAs to the most appropriate ward. This may mean that some parts of the LSOAs discussed within this report fall outside of the ward boundary and some areas within the boundary are not covered as they have been assigned to another ward. Using this method, the ward of Bucklow-St Martins encompasses the following 6 LSOAs:

As mentioned above, the 7 domains are combined and weighted to create the Index of Multiple Deprivation which is an overall measure of relative deprivation. The plot below shows where the 6 LSOAs within Bucklow-St Martins lie relative to all the LSOAs in Trafford, and in which decile.

The definition of low income used includes both those people that are out-of-work, and those that are in work but who have low earnings (and who satisfy the respective means tests). A combined count of income deprived individuals is produced by summing the following non-overlapping indicators:
